Know that airbrushed perfection that's in all the magazines? We've got the same soft-focus finish right here in a jar. Illuminating Mineral Veil gives you a pearly, ethereal glow that reflects light for a photo-fabulous look. And like our original Mineral Veil, it's the flawless finishing touch to any makeup routine.

For oilier complexions, in humid climates, or with heavy moisturizers, start with an application of Mineral Veil before applying bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation.

Take it to go.

Swirl and Tap Mineral Veil into the brush before you leave the house. (For a day-to-evening look, swirl Clear Radiance along with the Mineral Veil.) Put on the cover, pop into your purse, and Buff on your bareMinerals on the go or as an office to evening pick-me-up.

Applying the Makeup is Easy

1. Swirl
a small amount of Mineral Veil by angling the Flawless Application Face Brush and swirl into the lid until all the Mineral Veil has been tucked into the bristles.

2. Tap
away excess. There should be no visible Mineral Veil on the outside of the brush.

3. Buff
the Mineral Veil into the skin in a circular motion, starting on the outside of your face near your cheekbone, swirling as you go. Buff around your face and then approach your forehead, cheeks, and nose.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Sunshine913 Not the same mineral veil - Cornstarch is the first ingredient
This was an award winner at one time. NO LONGER. Ladies, most of the Bare Minerals products now contain cornstarch as the first ingredient. And that includes the original mineral veil we all loved.

I love Mineral Veil. Less really is more. I use just a tiny bit on my forehead and cheeks, which makes my skin look soft and glowing. I avoid using it around my nose, because I do wear glasses and it does "separate/clump" a teeny bit. When it does, I just reapply with my Ready touch up Veil.

I use this every single day after I apply my foundation. I love the glow it gives my face. I won't wear makeup if I don't have my Veil!

I was late to the wonder of Mineral Veil until my daughter talked me into trying it. At 62, with fine, thin aging skin, I thought it would be too "ghostly" and drying also concerned about accentuating fine lines. Could not have been more wrong! Everything about this powder is right on target and I use both the luminous and the matte, depending on the particular look I am doing. I have touted this to friends who have tried, and purchased the BM line. Great appearance and my skin actually feels better with extended use. I use the ready compact for travel touch ups.

I purchased this product to use for a finishing powder. It's not like other brands I've used. It made my skin appear dry and it settled in every fine line. I absolutely love the Perfecting Veil. So I decided to give this a try. My skin is mostly oily /combination. So it making my skin appear dry was crazy considering I don't lack in moisture that much. Plus it felt very heavy.

I have been using veil for 7 years now and I will never use anything else (except other BE products). I am a light skinned person and I mix a bit of tinted Mineral Veil with my regular one to match the faux tan on my body. You see a lot of 'veils' out there, hoping to copy Mineral Veil but no one comes close. It hides imperfections (read: wrinkles and freckles) and gives a stunning finish on your face. Don't buy the wannabee's. Buy the real thing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DimplesRD37 Great finishing powder!
I love Bare Minerals Mineral Veil. A little goes a long way so the product last awhile which is good considering the price. I ordered the illuminating veil online and did not realize it has a sparkly finish to it. I would recommend using a little and buffing it into the skin to help limit the sparkly finish. All in all, it's a great product.

This is the perfect product for oily skin especially in the summertime. I use it first under my mineral powder foundation and then lastly after all makeup is applied for a flawless look.

I struggle with my makeup separating where my glasses rest on my nose, I use this on a small concealer brush and pat over my foundation around my nose and it last all day. I also use this as an all over setting powder and think it blends beautifully. I only have a sample at the moment but definitely plan on purchasing a full size.

It depends on the shade of powder and the amount of application. I am 46 and take really good care of my skin. I hydrate every morning and night. I still have some irritating wrinkles! I use Bare Minerals and love it. I think that any makeup can make a person's wrinkles or flaws look bad. It depends on Shade and application. I think the Mineral Veil gives even mature skin a nice glow and doesn't magnify wrinkles any more than any other makeup.

I just finished up a HUGE container of "Tinted Feather Light Mineral Veil" that my mother in law gave me years ago. I immediately stopped using my regular Mineral Veil once I tried it. It has a subtle sparkle and gives truly, utterly flawless coverage over my medium beige powder foundation. I want to replace it, but there isn't a Mineral Veil by the same name. The new "Tinted" Mineral Veil is described as "feather light," but the "Illuminating" Mineral Veil is described as having that subtle sparkle. Do I need to use both to achieve the same look as my old Mineral Veil?!

Answer:

Have you tried Mineral Veil? I use it as a last step because it seems to pull your face together and just kind of perfect it! Like airbrushing or filter effect for your complexion. I don't get that same result from Radiances. Those are more like a highlighter, give more of like a glow which I like but wouldn't call it a can't-live-without. MV definitely is!

I have VERY oily skin and I'm still in high school, so it's embarrassing to "casually" wipe the excess oil on your nose or forehead. (I get oily mainly in the "t-zone"). How long does this product mattify you're skin and what's the best way to use this so the mattification lasts longer?

Answers

Answer:

I have very oily skin as well and the translucent mineral veil really helps! It last around 6 hours before I have to touch up my t-zone area from being shiny. I would recommend using the oil control primer, mineral foundation in matte, and then the translucent mineral veil.

I also have oily skin, so i have found that after i use my primer i buff on this mineral veil then my foundation then the mineral veil again. i usually have oily problems through the day at my hair line, and around my nose, but it seems to help keep it at bay. but remember honey, every one is different. i would atleast give it a try, but for me it seems to work all day.

I've tried the tinted and it left a dull layer on my skin. I then tried the illuminating mineral veil and really loved how it left a glow, but the glow is very light for my medium to tan complexion. Any advice? Should I try to mix the two together?

I would suggest than you contact customer service and talk to one of their wonderful professional representatives. That's what I do & it works well for me. Bare Essentualsis a people pleasing company!!!

What happened to the very light weight, colorless, hydrating Mineral Veil?? It was awesome! Because it was so light weight and colorless, you could do quick touch ups all the time without worry of "piling it on".
